I am trying this to pass the argument through command line 

robot testingxpath.robot  --variable EXAMPLE:value

[ ERROR ] Parsing '--variable' failed: Data source does not exist.

Try --help for usage information.

Not sure what is wrong. Any help is appreciated.

Try robot --variable EXAMPLE:value testingxpath.robot

User guide (ch. 3.1.2) says:

When options are used, they must always be given between the runner script and the data sources.
